Zazoo

Books:
Speak by L.H. Anderson
Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery
Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama

Question:
Is it strange at all that no person in the town takes special note of Zazoo's situation? I feel like with Grande Pierre's failing health, and she being only thirteen years old, that special precautions would be in line for her well being. I was surprised that not even Monsieur Klien did not even think of special arrangements for if Grande Pierre were to die.

Comment:
I really love that Zazoo is not extremely caught up in the drama most thirteen year olds are caught up in. She is still dealing with boys, fights with best friends, school and a grandfather with wavering health, but she is so very mature about it all. She still is more concerned with the beauty and poetry that surrounds her. She does not dwell on these things nearly as much as I did at that age and I admire her.
